and after the 2010 election they were dangerous because obama lost big and john boehner became speaker no longer nancy pelosi. so the narrative was we need to d demonize that group and call them racist and they did and it worked. create a narrative, repeat the narrative. so there is all of this attention given and by the way i think many cases the tea party and whatever you want to call them are wrong. and i disagree with the government shutdown. but that was tactics. a disagreement over tactics but substance. every last republican voted for obamacare. i am no longer a member of congress so i did read the bill. and so there is plenty of comment with regard to the right and the problems on the right but the reason i wrote the book was because of what al said and where i grew up and what i see in all seriousness. the democrat leadership and bill clinton moderate deal that was sold to the american people and i think with regard to trade and charter schools it is reality has become a european social democrat model for consumption in this country. counter culture with regard to economics. i

apparently in a meeting, in his conference, boehner told people, yet you're asked in line and i think this is how congress has been so polarizing and a book like this would be great for summer reading just to kick back and figure out some of the dramas that are actually going on behind the scenes as we watch nothing happened. another book i would like to read is called love is a mixed tape. it is written by someone who worked for "rolling stone" but it's a personal story about how he fell in love with someone and also fell in love with him. they were very unlikely pair. and from what i understand, she died and he was devastated but then they used to make each other mixed tapes which is something i did four years and years and years with all my exes, you know. but he basically writes a book that is essentially a mix tape to her in her honor because he loved her. it sounds like it was the final mix tape for her and i can't wait to read it. that is what i'm hoping to read this summer. >> for more information on this and other summer reading list, visit the tv.org. >> as you can see this
